A PROPOSED PLATFORM.

Among the many criticisms re-
ceived have been some upon up
on the recent platform of the So
cial League,-not criticisms of its
essence but of its phraseology.
Our comrades seem to think that
the use of the word state" should
be qualified more than it is so as
to allow no basis even in appear
ance for the capitalist affirmation
that we propose tyrrany.
But every reader of the ENouIR-
Err ought to know that when the
future state" is spoken of it is
meant a state" as different from
the present as a monad is from
man. Sacrificing terseness to Sc
cure absolute clearness many
amendments have been proposed.
The following being the best will
be acted upon and probably adopt
ed by the Social League of Den
yer on Sunday and by them
commended to the consideration
of other Leagues:

CROWDED OUT.

There is news enough that is
crowded out of this weeks pa
per that ought to be in. But
eight pages is not large enough
each week; it ought to be made
sixteen pages and ought to be
bnsAed for all it is worth. Ifevery
Western Socialist will but do his
duty from now on it can be
doubled in size before January.
Take the hint.
The interesting news of how the
Doodle workingmen of Chicago
called a meeting last Sunday to
denounce Tommy Morgan-our
Tommy-for daring to hold a par
asol over Mrs. Parsons head while
she spoke at the successful
(Chicago) Labor Enquirer picnic,
and how they got scared and
"dassent do it's crowded out.
How George didn't prevent red
flags being carried in the 10000
strong Labor Day procession of
New York; the gossip concerning
Swinton as the proposed nominee
for Secretary of State against

ference Of fifty-six unions, FIVE So
cialist sections, and seventeen re-
voting Labor Party Assembly

proposed at Buffalo on the 18th;
the crawling way in which Pow

the great Labor demonstration at
San Francisco; an innumerable
lot of private letters of praise, res
olutions in favor of the "Anarch-
ists." personal explanations, words
of cheer and criticism,-all these
are crowded out"
One other thing, however, of
this eventful week must be men
toned. District 4o has voted
moral and financial aid to the i'm
prisoned martyrs in Chicago and
the 10000 members of 4o are at.
last up in arms and fighting to re-
gain their place in the van that
they had so nearly lost. And in
Boston, in Fanueil Hall on Sep
tember Is, the workers of that city
will meet to enter a solemn pro-
test against their final judment.
No news as yet from Ottawa
where the Supreme Judges sit in
state holding in their own hands
their fame or shame,-time even
yet in every town, in every union,
IN every assembly to pass resolu-
tions like those of '4o. Let it be

Socialists decked out with scarlet
trimmings, played around the plat
form, the great red banner swung
in the soft breeze from the ceiling.
Mrs. Haskell in a sailor suit trim

PERSONAL.

The next issue OF the ENQUIRER
will be the last issued by me as
Managing Editor. My resigna-
tion has been handed in to take
effect on the Seventeenth instant.
Comrade James J. Callahan will
succeed me,-a man in every
sense of the word and one for
whom there is asbrilliant future.
This step of mine has not been
taken without serious considera-
ton, and is ! believe for the best.
The field in Denver is to a great
extent a limited one, and new cir
cumstances developing have con-
vinced me that can do more
good in other places. My rela-
tons with the directors and stock
holders have been and are now
more than cordial, and it is due to
them to say that is not for want of
insistance upon their part, that !
decline to longer prolong my stay
in Denver.
] came here last January upon
an emergency. In March when
the workers of Denver decided to
buy the paper from comrade BU-
cHANAN ! agreed to stay with them
for six months. That time expir-
ed on September Ist. In this short
interval the LABOR ENQUIRER has
successfully fought and conquered
a nasty boycott put secretly upon
it by few bigoted X. of L. bosses
of d. A. 81. has built itself from
four to an eight page paper, has
quadupled its advertising patron
age, has largely increased its sub
scription list, has dared to speak
out on the Powderly question and
claims the credit for inaugurating
the movement that will clean out
bossism from both the K. of L.
and the Labor party. We have in
this period paved the way for the
unifcation of the Socialists, for
the building up of the great Trade
Unions in the West and are now
engaged in contesting a boycott
put upon US by the bigots of the
Catholic church and the Henry
George burden-shifters.
For the first time since its or
ganization the Social League" Of
Denver (by the aid of the EN-
QuIRER) and the Labor Party have
held regular weekly meetings at
tended by crowds during the sum-
mer months; a large class of
workers have been educated in the
scientific bases of the movement;
new speakers have been developed
and trained and a breach has been
made among the readers and be-
levers in the, capitalist press.
These points mark a distinct and
decided advance, even without
counting the polling in Denver of
1900 votes in the spring election,
unaided and alone. This is what
the radicals" have done; they
will do more, much more be-
fore this year ends. With Nc
